If the foreign policy of America is to be defined at this time, then the same sentence will be called – Donald Trump makes friendship quickly, but plays it which follows their terms. When Trump became the President of America, he surprised many old colleagues with his policy. He shook hands with the countries from which America traditionally kept distance.
When Trump became the President of America again, his attitude is different. Older ‘friends’ like Modi, Putin and Musk are getting away from them. In return, they are becoming close to the heads of state countries, from whom they lived far and wide. These days, analysts are unable to understand Donald Trump’s policy because today he says something else. For example, while resolving the issue between Russia and Ukraine, he got entangled with his old friend Putin.
First cheated Modi
Public warmth between Trump and Modi has been seen on several occasions. Especially in programs like “Howdy Modi” and “Namaste Trump”, both leaders were seen like Jigri Yaar. When Trump got a chance to fulfill this friendship, he grabbed Shahbaz Sharif’s hand during Operation Sindoor. Politically Trump repeatedly challenged India in business agreements, such as excluding India from GSP. At the same time, the Modi government has indicated closely with its ‘self -reliant India’ policy and Russia that India will not remain in any one camp.
Duped relationship with Putin
Trump has often been accused that he used to have a soft policy towards Russia’s President Putin. However, the Trump administration also imposed restrictions on Russia, but the chemistry of Trump and Putin was in discussion on the individual level. Recently, Putin is now seen standing more openly with China after Ukraine War and later statements of Trump. It was so low, which Trump even called Putin ‘crazy’. He told him that he is playing ‘sports with fire’. At the moment, the situation is that Putin is raging on America and relations between the two countries have deteriorated.
‘Bromance’ again break up from Allen Musk!
Alan Musk, who was once in Trump’s Economic Advisory Council, could not even handle the trump. He separated from Trump over climate change and covid policy. After Trump’s Twitter ban, Musk bought Twitter and gave a stage to Trump again. Both looked like a family in public, but in view of Trump’s policies, Tesla CEO also distanced himself from politics. Now they are focusing their attention on their business.
Trump formed the DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) keeping the government’s functioning further and keeping the cost cutting in mind and Tesla Chief Allen Maske, who funded him during the election, was made Chief of it. Publicly SpaceX CEO Allen Masak has expressed his deep displeasure over the ‘One Big Beutiful Bill’. This bill proposes a huge increase in government expenses. It is considered to be increasing instead of reducing the US budget deficit.
Trump’s new friends also became
Trump’s relationship is Nath on and of of Ukraine’s President Zelansky. In the era of friendship with Putin, he did not leave any effort to insult him, but after resentment from Putin, he has become soft on Zelancesi. Trump also improved relationships with North Korean leader Kim Jong, creating history. Trump, considering Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, moved the American embassy there and is now herself friendship with Arab countries. This is also not very happy with Israel President Benyamin Netanyahu. At the same time, Trump formed a very close relationship with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), especially with oil and defense deals. Trump supported the MBS despite the Khashogi murder case. At the same time, his warmth with the new President of Syria was also in the discussion as he was involved in the list of America’s Most Wanted at one time.
Overall, it would not be wrong to say that both Donald Trump’s friendship and enmity are not permanent. Their foreign policy runs more on deals than an idea. Where they benefit, they start there. Even if it is removing any of their loyal friends from it.
